Eligibility Information

Academic Standing

Applicants are required to be in good academic standing
with the University, which includes being a full-time, registered
student at UNF. In
order to apply for a student staff position with Housing & Residence Life, applicants must have both a semester and cumulative GPA of a 2.5 or higher. Our student staff members are expected to put their academics first and to be academic role model for their residents.

Disciplinary Standing

Applicants are required to be in good disciplinary
standing with the University. Applicants currently serving a sanction
of Probation or higher issued by the University or Housing & Residence Life, or Student Conduct are not eligible for employment. All applicants having a
prior disciplinary history during their tenure as a college student
should share that information during their interview. Having a
disciplinary history with the University or with the department does
not eliminate a candidate from consideration, but the nature of the
incident(s) may have bearing. All candidates' disciplinary history
will be checked with the University Conduct and HRL Offices.

Residency Standing

Candidates are required to have completed one (1) semester
of on campus residency at any college or university by the time of
employment (Fall term). Current first yearstudents
may apply if they have lived on campus during the prior academic year,
but are generally not eligible for hire in the Spring semester of their first
year.
